Sticking with Knight...Everest is still tallest even if no one measured it

[Gizmokid2005]

Long ago, before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain?

ANSWER (Congrats Knight): Just because it wasn't discovered doesn't mean it wasn't the tallest.

Dude, when I got hit with a nasty spyware yesterday, during the disinfection process, I had a revelation about my AnalyzerXP and CleanupXP+ tools and worked on them till 4:30am (yeah insane, I lost track of time) and when I got back home around 6pm, I had a bite and have been working on them till now and still not quite ready!!

So, that is my excuse...I am having brainfarts at this point since I am already tired from yesterday!!

Now to answer your riddle, it really didn't make sense because there are somethings not clear about it:

If two boys and a girl can beat their father in a tug-of-war, but their mother can win against a boy and two girls, who should win a contest between the father and a girl against the other and a boy?

Is this father and mother husband and wife? How about these 2 boys and the 2 girls, are they brothers and sisters and also daughters and sons to the father and/or the mother? More importantly, how many people are there total? And what is thie 'other' person?

Gizmo, clarify please!!

[Mathster]

Are the two boys equal in strength? waht about the two gurls? are teh boys stronger than the gurls?

[mrweasel]

I want "other" clarification

[Gizmokid2005]

If two boys and a girl can beat their father in a tug-of-war, but their mother can win against a boy and two girls, who should win a contest between the father and a girl against the other and a boy?

ANSWER (It's all in the riddle...):

The mother and boy. Pitting the 2 winning teams against the 2 losing teams (boy + boy + girl + mother versus father + boy + girl + girl) will obviously result in a win for boy + boy + girl + Mother over father + boy + girl + girl. Take a girl and boy away from each side, and boy + mother must still beat father + girl. PHEW!!!!

NEXT RIDDLE:
I am taken from a mine, and shut up in a wooden case, from which I am never released, and yet I am used by almost everybody. What am I?

[knight0334]

Graphite? As in a pencil?

[Mathster]

knight is probably correct.

[TurcoLoco]

knight is probably correct.

Yeah, I agree with these two!!


I would have known the answer to your last riddle too if you were to mention the father was gay and the mother was a man-hating butch!!
